While at the gunshop today I found a nice .44 magnum with a 2.5 inch barrel. It's a Model 29-3 and has good bluing and wooden S&W combat grips. The shop owner was selling this as a consignment gun and said he was unable to find the specific gun listed in a gun Value book. He said he thought that it was a Lew Horton gun, but I have no idea what that means.
First, what is a Lew Horton gun?
Second, should it be marked as such? I don't see any such markings.
Third, what frame size is this gun? Maybe a N-frame?
Lastly, Anybody make a good holster for a 2.5 inch Model 29?
I appreciate any help. These are really bad pictures, but I just took them in my truck out in the parking lot. The grips need to be sanded, but I'll do that myself. Smudges on the bluing are from extra oil and are not scratches or rust.
